UltraVNC

I'm pretty sure. Both are Dell machines.

I've been using VNC and uVNC for years now but have run in to an issue on one server. I'm running the latest release version on both the server and the client. The server is a dual processor (Xeon) machine running SBS 2003. T-1 on the server side. The problem is performance. The login comes up ...

You don't need to forward ports to your "Internet IP address." just the local IP of each machine. So, port 5900 and 5800 on the router needs to be forwarded to 192.168.1.x (desktop) and port 5901 and 5801 would be forwarded to 192.168.1.y (laptop) (change the x and y to match your internal IP ...

It's been a while since I've used VNC Manager, but I swear I seem to remember that you could specify Display#s/ports. Check the options again.
